After a lot of research and advice, these are what I went with ๐Ÿ˜Brooks Levitate ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ

I tried so many different styles today..

Trail's just didn't feel right ๐Ÿค”

Think I'm to used to my brook's glycerine

But these have a bit of a lower heel drop.. which hopefully helps alleviate my ball of the foot pain ( metataralsalgia)

I recently bought some hoka slides which are a brilliant substitute for slippers!!

I also treated myself to some balega socks.. ๐Ÿ˜

I'm super excited to get out and try on Monday !!!

Thanks everyone who helped with your amazing advice on my last post ๐Ÿ™

Ooh here's to being back running ๐Ÿ™
